A mechanical model of crack initiation and propagation, which is based on the actual mechanism of ductile fracture in high strength materials, is proposed. Assuming that a crack initiates when the equivalent stress at a distance p from the crack tip reaches a critical value Of, an equation for predi

β¦ Synopsis
A simplified model to study crack growth resistance in cohesive materials has been developed. The model relies on the assumption that the crack displacements are known a priori for different crack lengths. The load-displacement curves are obtained for three point bend specimens and compared with experimental results and numerical calculations performed using the finite element method. The range of validity of the model is discussed.

## Abstract In most murine fracture models, the femur is stabilized by an intramedullary implant and heals predominantly through endochondral ossification. The aim of the present study was to establish a mouse model in which fractures heal intramembranously. Femur fractures of 16 SKHβmice were stab
Wave propagation in granular materials is numerically studied through discrete element simulation. Two-dimensional (2-D) model material systems composed of large numbers of circular particles were numerically generated. The particles in these model materials were randomly distributed with a biasing
